Peter Jackson has done more for Tolkien's work than anyone has. Kids that wouldn't have ever even considered reading Tolkien pick the books up because they liked the movies.

C. Tolkien should be so lucky that they actually hired a director with talent and appreciation of Tolkien's work to adapt the books, instead of the 98% of Hollywood directors who would've done far, far worse.

I would think one would usually be at least thankful for the huge sums of money that someone puts in one's pocket.
